It would be interesting to see the rates of reinfection of players who tested positive for Covid pre-vaccine. The NHL is getting ravaged with positive tests right now, but the members of the Vancouver Canucks who were hit hard in the spring of 2021, seem to have avoided testing positive this time around. Most of the positive cases seem to be guys who were acquired in the summer.
A functioning media might even start asking questions about acquired immunity vs. bottled 'immunity'.
Of course, the silence of the media is almost as telling. If re-infections were happening at a large rate, they would be shouting it from the rooftops.
It will be interesting to see if all the vaxxed and boosted people who get Covid over the winter change their tune. It’s one thing to pretend vaccines are better than natural immunity when you haven’t had Covid but are vaxxed. It’s another when you’ve actually had Covid. You see the articles about “super immunity” after breakthrough cases. Seems like an off-ramp to the lifetime booster highway.
There's a hope that if this flurry of cases in the NFL, NHL, and NBA lead to not a single really serious illness, that will edge some people out of their fear.
Oh, there's no question that el gato malo's column from yesterday (Saturday) morning is one for the ages. It is stunning in its complete destruction of that idiot Judge Jane's intellect and honesty. I've recommended it to a number of places in my comments elsewhere.
I'm very curious to know the effects of vaccine mandates. For instance, in King County, WA, do we know the percentage of vaccinations that occurred just before and just after the mandate?
At the bottom you can see doses administered. A large spike upon rollout, then a huge valley during the summer. Started ticking up again in early October.
I don't get why there's still this continual focus on number of cases. Why not number of deaths, especially when there's been only 1 death from someone "with Covid," not a death even "from Covid." All so tiresome and obviously a way to keep authoritarian power close at hand.
As they've done from the very beginning, the thing only more unmoored than politicians, bureaucrats, and the alphabet legacy media are from reality, are their goalposts.

We do!

But does this show that mandates have an effect?
On vax rates? Of course. Inslee has fired all the public workers who won't get the jab, and anybody else he can get away with.

They will focus on whatever is the scariest at the moment, and always frame it in the scariest way possible. "Cases up 5000%!"
